72 WATERCOLOUR PENCILS
IDEAL FOR ART ON-THE-GO
PENCILS NAMED & NUMBERED
Every pencil branded with the Castle Arts logo, named and numbered for easy selection and reference
VIBRANT WATERCOLOURS
Experiment with effects like dry-on-wet paper and wet-on-dry paper, blending and gradation
The intense pigments dissolve in water - on the brush or the paper – so your pencil strokes melt and blend beautifully to create amazing effects… your drawing magically morphs into a painting.
Arranged in vibrant colour families with break-resistant leads which hold their point, they can be used as regular coloured pencils when used dry to achieve detailed and delicate results difficult to achieve with brushes.
Having the best of both worlds – drawing and painting – gives you scope to experiment with effects like dry-on-wet paper, wet-on-dry paper and with techniques like layering, blending and gradation. See the 28-page guide (included) for tips.
Mighty Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland, England, goes back to the 6th century AD and now houses the gallery where our resident artist Peter Phillips exhibits. A painter of global repute, he and his team of artists specify our art supplies, create our Guides and Tutorials, produce our videos and provide practical advice and know-how born of a lifelong love of art.
You’ll get more out of everything because we put more into everything. In our dedicated studios our artistic and technical staff test competitive brands, and where they fall short, we develop better materials – in the formulation and selection of pigments; the touch, feel and comfort in use; tools, packaging and presentation that look and work better.
Join our loyal and ever-growing global family of Castle Artists who stay in regular touch with each other and ourselves through emails, social media, our savvy Customer Services team and the Castle Club - sharing experiences, tips and creative inspiration by exhibiting their art on our website Gallery.
